You know those little things your S.O. does that really get on your nerves?

Like when...

1. They only send one-word responses

If they're uninterested in how you are or what you are doing, do they really love you? If you are putting in 80% of the effort, are they really that great? If they're still acting like they don't care, they probably don't.

2. They're always on their phone while you're together

Hey! I'm over here! Could you get off your phone for two seconds and spend time with me? Thanks!

3. Their ex is their best friend on Snapchat

Yikes. Social media can be great, but seeing your boyfriend like that girl's bikini pic on Instagram or your girlfriend constantly Snapchatting her ex? Not a good feeling.

4. They always invite their friends on your dates

Okay, as much as I love group hang outs, can we just have one date where it's just the two of us?

5. They make you feel bad for wanting to hang out with your friends instead of him/her

Listen, as much as you love your S.O., spending every waking moment together is not healthy for anyone. Sometimes you just need a girls night out or, dare I say, a Saturday with the boys.

6. They don't introduce you to their family or friends as their boyfriend/girlfriend

"This is my uhhhh... Shelby. This is Shelby."

Awkward.

7. They tell you what you can and cannot do

If he tells you that you can't wear something because it's too revealing or she unreasonably tells you that you can't hang out with someone, just dump them.

8. They don't support your goals

Don't question or ignore your S.O.'s dreams for their future. Be there for them and help them make it a reality.

9. They act disrespectfully in front of your family

They better be on their best behavior around your family and actually want to engage with them. Let's face it-- If your family doesn't like them, you will never last.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
